Far East By Cecil Beaton

Description

This book is in a sense, a sequel to the author’s Near East, but it covers a vaster and more remote areas of the world at war. Cecil Beaton was sent to India and China by the Ministry of Information to take photographs, and wherever he went, also made notes, of the places he visited, the sights he saw and the people he met. Far East provides a brilliant and authentic glimpse of India and China at war, against a profuse oriental background. It is illustrated by a choice of the author’s magnificent photographs.
